In recent reports, it has been revealed that Real Madrid is on the verge of finalizing the signing of Joselu Mato, the talented striker from Espanyol.
This move is expected to be completed as soon as the current FIFA break ends, with an official announcement planned for next Monday.
Prominent Performances
The acquisition of Joselu on a loan deal comes following Espanyol’s relegation to the Segunda Division, presenting a valuable opportunity for Real Madrid to bolster their attacking options.
Despite his club’s unfortunate demotion, Joselu showcased his prowess during the previous season, emerging as one of the league’s top Spanish scorers with an impressive tally of 16 goals.
Favorable Transfer Terms
Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Real Madrid has secured incredibly favorable terms for Joselu’s acquisition.
Espanyol will receive a mere 500,000 euros as the loan fee, making this deal an attractive proposition for Los Blancos.
